The Tampa Bay Lightning lost 3-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights in the shootout, their first shootout loss of the season. Shoutout to Matt for playing hurt in this game, mad respect. [Raw Charge]
The Lightning struggled to establish any kind of pace during this game. They had small spurts during the first two periods, but largely, this game was dictated by Vegas. Tampa Bay relied a bit too much on their special teams and goaltending this evening and it ultimately bit them. These games happen, so, there isn’t too much to be upset about.
